“Sleepy J” (@SleepyJ_Pregame): CJ Gardner-Johnson OVER 5.5 Tackles + Assists @ FanDuel -122
Betting Predators Co-Founder & Pregame.com pro bettor
Frankly, this line should be around 7.5. Gardner Johnson plays Strong Safety and that spot typically has to deal with the middle of the field. That's Mahomes bread and butter area and last week it was again for Mahomes. Well Bengals SS Vonn Bell racked up 7 total tackles in the game last week. Bell is not the leading tackler for the Bengals and neither is Johnson. Johnson season avg is right at 5, but the way Mahomes plays the game with Kelce, we could need 1 tackle in the 2nd half for this to cash.
Chris Dell (@MaddJournalist): Zach Pascal UNDER 10.5 receiving yards @ PointsBet -190
Betting Predators Co-Founder & ESPN 97.5 sports handicapper
We’ve gotta pay a tax here to access this under, sure, but quite frankly, this prop should be lined closer to -300. Pascal has one catch in Hurts’ last three games as a third backup rotational receiver splitting snaps with Quez Watkins. He has just two targets, and one catch for four yards in the Eagles’ past three games with Jalen Hurts back, and he’s gone under this lowly total in seven straight contests, and under in 11 of his last 12. Dallas Goedert’s return to this Eagles passing attack has all but muted both Pascal and Watkins in the passing game, and we’ve seen that play out over the past two months as Pascal has run no more than 12 routes in a single game since Week 13 and hasn’t run more than 15 routes in a game all season long. If you do not have access to PointsBet for this, then I similarly also love the under for both Quez Watkins under 1.5 receptions and Miles Sanders under 1.5 receptions for similar low-usage reasons.
Justin “Smoove” Everett (@Smoove_702): Miles Sanders OVER 59.5 yards @ MGM -115
Featured guest handicapper from Pregame.com
Out of the 19 games played this year Sanders has gone over this rushing total 11 times (58%) and out of his last 5 games his gone over this rush total 3 times (60%). The Chiefs come into this game with the 15th ranked rushing defense according to the DVOA metrics but they faced the 3rd easiest rushing schedule and the Eagles come into this matchup with the number 1 rushing attack and when the Chiefs faced rushing attacks that finished top 10 or better they gave up 119.25 rushing yards per game so lay the -125 comfortably as the Eagles should look to establish their run game with their workhorse in the backfield.
“SammyCapperBets” (@SammyCapper2): Boston Scott OVER 7.5 rushing yards @ BetRivers -108
Featured guest handicapper from props.cash
It’s the biggest game of the year, and we’re betting on a backup RB? That’s right & Scott is a nice target. I say this because he sees a decent workload for a RB3 & this number is totally within reach based on his ‘22-‘23 stats. This season (including playoffs), Scott averaged four Attempts/G which resulted in 16 RushYards/G - He’s hit this number in 11/17, includes both playoff games. Just the playoff alone, Scott is getting six Attempts/G while logging 26.5 RushYards/G - I know it’s only two games but both are way over his season totals. Give me Boston Scott for 8+ RushYards all day, as Scott has hit in 4/6 career playoff games while averaging 18.6 rushing yards per game.
Ben Martinez (@On_A_Heater): Eagles more sacks than Chiefs @ DraftKings -125
Betting Predators NFL Analyst
Philadelphia ranks as Pro Football Focus #1 pass blocking offense. Three of the five starters rank in the top 10 of ESPN’s Pass Block Win Rate metric. Guard Isaac Seumalo is believed to be the weak link that Chiefs star defensive tackle Chris Jones can exploit, but Seumalo grades as PFF’s ninth-best pass blocker at his position. Jones is probably top three at his position, but he hasn’t faced an offensive line like this. The Eagles' offensive line nearly made 49ers DT Javon Kinlaw quit, and bullied the Giants' two star defensive linemen Dexter Lawrence and Leonard Williams. Jones likes to also hit the edges to bullrush the opponent’s tackles. If he does, he will run into Lane Johnson, who erased Cowboys star edge rusher Micah Parsons twice this season. The tackles are the weak spot that Philadelphia will exploit with edge rushers Haason Reddick and Josh Sweat, who grade as third and 16th best pass rushers at their position, and both rank in the top 10 of ESPN’s Pass Rush Win Rate. On top of this, the Eagles have six of the top 90 pass rushers with a QB pressure rate of 5.5%.
Patrick Creighton (@PCreighton1): DeVonta Smith OVER 75 receiving yards @ DraftKings +140
Featured guest handicapper from ESPN 97.5
KC is a mediocre pass defense and they will struggle to get pressure on Jalen Hurts with Philly's excellent O-Line. I expect they will pay more attention to AJ Brown, which means Smith will have some 1-on-1 opportunities, and he will make the Chiefs pay when he has them. Smith finished with 95 receptions for 1,196 yards in 2022. Don't be fooled by his quiet NFC playoffs against New York and San Francisco. Both of those games were blowouts from the get-go, this game will be much more closely contested. Philly will need to move the ball to score often Sunday, and Smith will be the beneficiary of that. Smith also broke 100 yards receiving in four of the Eagles' final 6 games in the regular season. He's ready to break out again. Now all of this doesn't mean the teams won't try to run, and Kansas City will need to keep the threat of the run real to stop the Eagles' sack machine defense from coming after Mahomes and his sore ankle full throttle.
“Uncle Dave” Essler (@Dave_Essler): Quez Watkins OVER 10.5 receiving yards @ PointsBet -110
Featured guest handicapper from Pregame.com
I expect some pushback on this one. He only had 51 targets during the season, and only ONE against the 49ers. Well, that game played out differently than expected after Purdy’s injury and Hurts only threw for 121 yards. In his nine prior games Watkins was targeted four or more times in seven of them, five or more in six of them. We know the Chiefs and Spagnuolo are going to work at limiting Brown and Smith, which has to open the field up for someone else. Watkins’ YPC this season was just under 11, down from almost 15 the year prior, so this may well only take one catch.
Rob Norton (@Norton0723): Jalen Hurts to win Super Bowl MVP @ BetMGM +140
Betting Predators Fantasy Football Analyst
I'm going to come right out and say it: I don’t know who will win the Superbowl. It’s a great matchup and I’m extremely torn. On the one hand, I never like to bet against Patrick Mahomes and his greatness. On the other hand, I think the Philadelphia Eagles are a more complete team, especially on the defensive side of the ball. They also have a better offensive line and wide receiver corps too. Vegas seems to agree as they have the Eagles as 1.5-point favorites and -125 on the Moneyline. This is where my favorite bet comes in. 11 of the last 16 Super Bowl MVPs have been quarterbacks, some of which are nowhere near the level that we should see in this matchup between Mahomes and Hurts. It seems extremely likely to me that for the Eagles to win this game, they are going to have to outscore Mahomes and the Chiefs. I don’t see a player like Mahomes being completely shut down, only slowed down. Therefore, it seems very likely that Jalen Hurts will rack up plenty of stats both through the air and with his legs. It’s interesting to see that Hurts (+120) and Mahomes (+125) are nearly identical despite the difference between betting the Eagles (-125) to win compared with betting the Chiefs (+105) to win. Both teams’ next closest MVP bets are +1200 which indicates that both are almost equally as likely to win MVP if their team wins the game. A $100 bet on the Eagles to win would return $180 (including your $100). A $100 bet on Hurts to win MVP would return $220 (including your $100). If you are planning on betting on the Eagles to win, I highly recommend putting that money on Hurts to win MVP instead to get the extra profits.
Dalton Brown (@DaltonOnSports): Philadelphia Eagles First to 10 points @ DraftKings -120
Featured guest handicapper from Gallery Sports
The Philadelphia Eagles lead the NFL in first half points scored by almost three full points (18.2 points per first half vs. 15.5 for second-place Kansas City). Philadelphia also leads the NFL with 10.3 points per first quarter over their last three games, almost double Kansas City (5.7). Including the playoffs, the Eagles are 14-5 against the spread in the first halves of games this season - also best in the NFL. Philadelphia’s defense allowed the second-fewest yards in the NFL this season (301.5) and led the NFL in sacks by a wide margin with 70. The Eagles’ defense ranked 5th in the NFL this season in first half points allowed as well, while Kansas City ranked 14th. The Eagles are -125 at DraftKings to win the game outright, and are widely known for their ability to put teams away early. Meanwhile, Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs are known better for running past teams in second halves. Wouldn’t it make more sense for the “first to 10 points” prop to move the odds further toward Philly? Instead, we are getting a discount at -120 versus the game moneyline of -125. I would play this up to -130.
“Mean Gene” Lesser (@MeanGene0022): Jalen Hurts UNDER 239.5 Passing Yards @ BetRivers -110
Betting Predators MMA Lead Handicapper
Simply put, I do not believe that Jalen Hurts has fully recovered from the shoulder injury he suffered back in Week 15 of the regular season against the Chicago Bears. Since returning from that injury, he has not looked comfortable throwing the football and it shows in his lack of accuracy. If you look at his numbers since his return, he’s thrown for 229 yards, 154 yards, and 121 yards. Beyond these numbers, there are several other reasons why I like this play. Before the injury, Hurts all but wrapped up the MVP trophy, and rightfully so, but if look at his passing numbers, you’ll see that he wasn’t exactly lighting up the scoreboard on a consistent basis. In fact, in 17 games this season, he’s only gone over his Super Bowl line of 240.5 passing yards six times. On the season he’s averaging 234 passing per game which would bring him under this total as well. But lets not just focus on Hurts’ numbers. His opponent Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs, have been playing well defensively in recent weeks. For the sake of this specific prop, they’ve only allowed one quarterback to throw for more than 240.5 yards in their last six games. That quarterback was Joe Burrow who threw for 270 yards two weeks ago in their AFC Championships matchup. Finally, whether it’s from the running back position or Hurts himself, the Eagles like to run the ball. I do not expect that to change in this game, especially against a Patrick Mahomes-led Chiefs team. Nick Sirianni is going to want to keep Mahomes and that explosive Chiefs offense off of the field as much as possible. How do you do that? By running the ball and possessing the ball for as long as possible. For these reasons, my best bet player prop for Super Bowl LVII is Jalen Hurts under 240.5 passing yards.
Rachael Van Oranje (@GamedayOhJ): Jalen Hurts OVER 31.5 pass attempts @ DraftKings +100
Featured guest handicapper from ESPN 97.5
Steve spagnolo’s game plan will likely be to limit Jalen’s mobility, and force Hurts to beat them from the pocket. Additionally, I expect the Eagles to be playing “catch up” for a chunk of this game. All of this combined feels like the perfect recipe for Jalen Hurts over 31.5 pass attempts (-126) and over 0.5 interceptions (+100) while he could be playing at less than 100% health.
“NFL Prop Line Sniper” (@PropLineSniper): Kenneth Gainwell OVER 32.5 rushing + receiving yds @ FanDuel -114
Featured guest handicapper
Gainwell has been the top receiving RB in this backfield and has recently solidified his role as #2 on the ground. Matchup-proof as the Eagles will need to move the ball more than they have in any game this season.
BONUS PROP: Haason Reddick OVER 0.25 sacks @ DraftKings -180
Since week 3 Redick has been on an absolute tear, recording at least half of a sack in 14 of 17 games for a ridiculous 82%+ hit rate. Outside of the Eagles’ Week 18 win against the New York Giants’ backup players, Redick has at least half of a sack or more in 10 straight games as well, with at least one full sack or more in 9 of those 10 contests. The Eagles’ new off-ball linebacker has emerged as one of the best (if not the best) in the league at his position, racking up 16 sacks this season as Philadelphia set the regular season record for most team sacks in a season. All this goes to say is that this number is simply mispriced based on the situation, recent track record, and matchup here. When Redick rushes the passer, he will be lined up against the weaker side of Kansas City’s offensive line on the outer edges, whereas fellow defensive linemen such as Fletcher Cox & Co will have tougher matchups against the interior of the Chiefs’ big uglies. I like Reddick to continue his insane sack streak, especially in a game where we already know Mahomes, although healthier, will not be at 100% mobility and is coming off an AFC title game in which he was sacked three times by a much less talented Bengals pass rush. Look for alt-overs on Redick for over 0.5 sacks and over 0.75 sacks as well. -Chris Dell
